Section 4: Guidelines to utilise AI for professional and pedagogical practices As the results of the desk research conducted under WP2 have revealed, AI-based tools have broad applications in HE, benefiting both teachers and students. They can streamline administrative tasks, inform data-driven decisions, and personalise learning. These tools also assist with assessment and feedback, enhancing student engagement and virtual support. This potential can significantly improve teaching quality, administrative efficiency and the overall learning experience. While AI offers many advantages, its integration into education raises ethical, legal, technological, and implementation concerns. These challenges require clear guidelines, training, and a focus on responsible use. The study also emphasises the need for critical evaluation of AI tools due to potential reliability and effectiveness issues. Therefore, given how AI applications could lead to harmful consequences, HE staff should ensure that the AI tools they are using are reliable, fair, safe, and trustworthy and that the data included is secure and protects the privacy of individuals. The guidelines provided can help HE staff to understand the affordances of AI and raise awareness of the possible risks, so that all stakeholders are engaged positively, critically and ethically with AI systems to maximise their potential.
